Our source, who is fearful of reprisal and has requested anonymity, says that KGO-TV’s Amy Hollyfield was accosted by a man who threatened her and used a racial slur: “We shoot white bitches like you around here.” According to our source, the Oakland Police Department was apparently called to the scene. Inquiries to the police, and to Hollyfield, which began at roughly 8 a.m. Pacific time yesterday, are still unanswered today.

Officials announced last week that they were stepping up security outside the fairgrounds after a series of attacks Aug. 14 that included a pair of stabbings. Investigators are still investigating those assaults and victims intend to pursue charges. Sgt.

According to police - who said their version had come from the 53-year-old Liberty Cab driver - about 8:30 p.m., the cab was at a light at 15th and Chestnut streets when three black teens - two of whom were 17 and one 15 - pulled a white passenger out and beat him while shouting racial slurs. When the cabdriver tried to stop the attack, the teens turned on him, police said. Goldman fled, and the cabbie grabbed a tire iron from his car and chased the kids away, police said. The cabbie flagged down a cop, and the three teens were arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

The assaults on a pair of Virginian-Pilot reporters in Norfolk, Va., two weeks ago at the hands of 30 black youths, reported for the first time Tuesday, are the latest in a series of attacks driven by a warped sense of racial vigilantism hiding behind calls of “Justice for Trayvon.” At least 15 whites have been beaten not just with fists, but with potentially deadly weapons including hammers and lengths of chain. Many of the victims have been hospitalized, some may never fully recover, and one lingers on the verge of death.
